Only a hint:

latest versions of binutils (dayly!! updated) can be downloaded
from

ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/private/gas/

and lates gdb versions (not so often updated) from

ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/private/gdb/

and this is (at least for me) a nearly fast connection (with
my ISDN connection about 7K/s).

Since I sent already all the configuration patches in the
used GNU style to the maintainer. :-)

Since nobody has ever sent some patches to the maintainers.
(including me :-( ). But now (see my other post) I made them
similar to the binutils configuration, and if some will find
the time to send them to the gdb maintainer, it will be available
also in the next versions.

I know also about that rtems-go32 target by name, but I really
don't know, what it is. So I simply ignored it and made all DJGPP
specific changes in the ix86-pc-djgppmsdos target and in the code
I used ever the __DJGPP__ symbol.
